"Dans la guerre"
June 14, 2010
Massoud Hossaini is an Afghan photographer who trained at Aina Kabul between 2002 and 2004. Broadcast on France 3's newscast '7 à voir' on June 13, 2010, 'Dans la guerre' presents his story.
by Véronique Veber, Vincent Kelner, Alice Panouillot
« Freedom of the press, security threats, dangers of the job...How to be a journalist in Afghanistan? For the last four years, Massoud Hossaini has worked as a photographer for AFP in Kabul. When the Taliban came to power, he fled his native Afghanistan. Son of a professor and an Afghan colonel, Hossaini lived through the hell of refugee camps for almost twenty years, first in Pakistan and later, Iran. Here, he saw the suffering of his people, witnessing many Afghans' resort to drug abuse. From his first reportage Hossaini launched his career as a photojournalist. After the fall of the Taliban in 2001, he returned to Afghanistan to bear witness to the tragedy unfolding there. At 29, he who has only known war feels responsible for his country."
